In fact procmail is a much better filtering tool than the filters built into *any* email reader/gui and could probably address your issues to do with putting messages in the right directories. I use it to do a level of spam filtering that spamassassin can't manage.
Anton, I'm curious - what extra filtering do you do with procmail that spamassassin can't do for you?
Procmail can do things that spamassassin can't. Rewriting and inserting headers is just one of them. There are many procmail recipes documented on the 'Net that you can review.
Sure, but I am really only interested in the _filtering_ - I do a lot of filtering with SA, and I was wondering if you had some good ideas to extend my ruleset/arsenal. Just in case we might not agree on the meaning of "filtering", for me, it is to "analyze and add results the email header". Any subsequent rerouting, deleting, storing in folders is for the MTA and sieve or procmail to do.
- assign mailing lists & others to appropriate folders spamassassin doesn't do that and the GUI is a bit simplistic compared to what procmail can do.
I didn't even know SA had a GUI :-)
How many of the things here http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~ts/info/proctips.html can you do with spamassassin?
I didn't read all of them, but in my experience, anything to do with filtering can be done with spamassassin. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (29.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
